Hi,

I was using 1.2.3-RC1 and wanted the client hostname to be provided by the dchp-server as given in a static dhcp-mapping. By Wireshark I could see that the dhcp offser message did not include host-name (option 12) even if requested in the dhcp discover message.

The problem is that the
/var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf
does not include the
option host-name "<host_name>";
in an host-declaration
host <name> {
...
};

I got it to work by modifying /etc/inc/services.inc as in the diff below.
I tried 1.2.3-RELEASE but it did also not work.
I have not tried 2.0 BETA.

Thank you for an otherwise excellent software.
